What should the Washington Expos new name be? |
|
The Senators again? The Beltway? The Nationals?

2. It's going to be The Nationals. But, I liked The Grays. |
|
How about Monarchs? Use one of the old Negro League names. :-)

6. I like that one. Is it set in stone yet? |
|
I always liked the Senators too but they already had two unsuccessful franchises using that name.

8. The Senators in honor of the names tradition |
|
albeit not a great tradition but still a decades long one. Of course I'm biased - used to go to old Griffith Stadium as a kid.

20. Dick Cheney. A millionaire bloated, white, war profiteering, racist. |

Picture a mascot dressed and made up to look like Unka Dick lobbing crackerjacks in bomb canister shaped packaging and telling the fans to go fuck themselves.

19. Senators -- I'm a traditionalist and ... then... |
|
wouldn't "Damn Yankees" would be up-to-date? Doesn't the lead character play for the Senators? Not sure.
Still, I vote Senators.

D.C. was always a good baseball town; it was a shame that MLB abandoned it in the early 1970s.
